Malaysia: House price to income ratio

The house price to income ratio is the ratio of the cost of a typical upscale housing unit of 100 square metres, compared to the countrys GDP per capita. Normally this ratio will be much higher in low income countries than in high income countries.

The formula is: (Price per square metre / GDP per capita)*100. The house price to income ratios published by the Global Property Guide are based on the Global Property Guides own proprietary in-house research, but we use the IMFs GDP per capita figures.

 

Malaysia releases a quarterly house price index. Data are available from the Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM). The Real Estate and Housing Developers Association (REHDA) is the best source of papers, press clippings and stories about the housing market. The National Property Information Center (NAPIC) publishes Property Market Status Report which focuses on property sales.

BNM has useful monetary, financial and economics data.
